Yesterday, WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero would have turned 53-years old. The former WWE Champion tragically passed away in late 2005, at the age of 38. Eddie Guerrero was one of the most charismatic Superstars in WWE history and left a legacy behind him that can't be replicated.
Eddie was a popular Cruiserweight star in WCW, back in the 90s. He made his way to WWE in early 2000, as a part of The Radicalz. Eddie soon formed an alliance with Chyna and spent years on end as a mid-card act on WWE SmackDown. Eddie went on to win the WWE title by defeating Brock Lesnar at No Way Out 2004, in one of the biggest upsets in wrestling history. In the following slideshow, we will take a look at five of the biggest WWE Superstars who couldn't defeat Eddie Guerrero.
Note: The list only focuses on WWE matches, and won't consider Eddie's WCW stint. Only singles competition is being taken into account for this list.

#5 R-Truth couldn't defeat Eddie Guerrero (0-1)
Currently, R-Truth is one of the most popular WWE Superstars on the roster. His popularity peaked last year during his weekly misadventures with the 24/7 title. Truth is regarded by many as one of the funniest acts in the history of WWE. Back in 2000-01, Truth worked for WWE using the moniker of K-Kwik. He had a bunch of matches with Eddie Guerrero at the time, with one of those encounters being a singles bout.
At Survivor Series 2000, Truth teamed up with Chyna, Billy Gunn, and Road Dogg in a losing effort against Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn. In February 2001, Eddie Guerrero took on Truth on an edition of Sunday Night Heat. In the end, Eddie pinned Truth to score a victory, and the duo never had a match again.
#4 Hardcore Holly couldn't defeat Eddie Guerrero (0-1)
During the Ruthless Aggression Era, Eddie Guerrero was a part of the SmackDown Six, an elite group of wrestlers who turned the Blue brand into one of the most exciting shows on TV. Around this time, Hardcore Holly was a mainstay on SmackDown as well but never managed to become a big name. The duo didn't face off during their stint on SmackDown for years on end, but it all changed in early 2005 when they finally had a singles match.
Hardcore Holly, considered by many as the greatest Hardcore Champion in WWE history (having won the belt six times), didn't have luck on his side on this night. Eddie Guerrero had become a major Superstar on SmackDown at this point, and there was no way WWE was letting Holly beat him. Eddie scored a victory over Holly in what was their only singles match in the squared circle. Holly parted ways with WWE in early 2009, thus putting an end to his 15-year run as a WWE Superstar.
#3 Chyna couldn't defeat Eddie Guerrero (0-2)
Eddie Guerrero and Chyna formed one of the most popular couples in WWE, back in the early 2000s. The duo was mostly presented as allies during their stint together, but there were times when Eddie Guerrero and Chyna were on the opposite sides of the ring. Chyna was one of the most unique performers in all of WWE and had put down the likes of Chris Jericho and Jeff Jarrett in the past. She had a couple of singles matches with Eddie and ended up losing both.
On the June 19, 2000, edition of WWE RAW, Eddie Guerrero and Chyna settled the score in the ring, and it ended with Eddie pinning Chyna. The duo would soon resume teaming up again, and it would be several months before they locked horns again. In October 2000, they faced off again, this time as well, on WWE RAW. The same story followed here, as Eddie Guerrero picked up another pinfall victory over Chyna. Chyna passed away in 2016 and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a part of DX in 2019.
#2 Jeff Hardy couldn't defeat Eddie Guerrero (0-1)
In the early 2000s, soon after Eddie Guerrero made his WWE debut, The Radicalz began feuding with The Hardy Boyz and Lita. Eddie was a part of several tag team matches against The Hardy Boyz at the time. On a few occasions, Jeff, Matt, and Lita defeated Eddie, Perry Saturn, and Terri in six-person tag team bouts. In April 2002, Eddie Guerrero and Jeff Hardy finally crossed paths in singles action.
Eddie Guerrero had held the Intercontinental title for a while at that point, after winning it against Rob Van Dam at Backlash 2002. On an episode of WWE RAW, Eddie took on Jeff Hardy with the Intercontinental title on the line. Eddie Guerrero came out victorious in the end and left the arena with the title on his shoulder. Unfortunately, we never got to witness another singles match featuring these two incredibly talented athletes. Jeff Hardy was absent from WWE TV for the better part of the mid-2000s, at a time when Eddie was one of the top guys on SmackDown.
#1 Randy Orton couldn't defeat Eddie Guerrero (0-1)
Randy Orton debuted on the main roster in 2002. For the next three years, Orton and Eddie Guerrero didn't cross paths as they were on separate rosters. Orton finally made his way to WWE SmackDown during the 2005 WWE Draft. At the time, Eddie Guerrero was a hated heel and was feuding with his former best friend Rey Mysterio. Soon, Eddie began his transformation towards being a good guy again and had a few run-ins with Orton.
Eddie Guerrero and Randy Orton faced off in a singles match on the October 11, 2005 taping of SmackDown. Eddie won the match via DQ, in their only singles match. Eddie Guerrero and Batista later teamed up in a winning effort against Orton and Mr. Kennedy. Soon, after, WWE legends Roddy Piper and Bob Orton joined the party and we got a six-man tag team match, which the babyfaces won as well. Eddie would pass away in November, mere days after his match against Mr. Kennedy on SmackDown.
